<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ike Skywalker, post: 2851502, member: 82381&quot;]Oh, I totally agree. Me? I don&#039;t do the grading thing, although I buy slabbed coins all the time. It&#039;s just cheaper to buy them already graded, and I don&#039;t have a reason to send any of my raw coins in. They&#039;re fine as they are. I&#039;m simply curious about experiences people have had with getting their coins graded. For some, it seems that sending coins to NGC/PCGS/ANACS is a regular thing, and I find myself intrigued by it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s exactly what I meant. I guess the term &quot;investment&quot; wasn&#039;t the best choice, although that&#039;s still what it is. The word seems to imply &quot;long-term&quot; more often than not in numismatics. My curiosity is about the <i>quick sale</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I couldn&#039;t agree more. I&#039;m a collector, not an investor. I love the history and nuances of the hobby. I do sell coins sometimes, but it&#039;s always because either I want something else or my interests change. When I first started collecting in 2011 I was mesmerized when reading about all the famous hoards in the Red Book, especially Redfield. It was the same with &quot;discovery&quot; coins. I&#039;m still fascinated by them. This sort of excitement is what I never want to lose.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Me too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
